    Duke 2022 are Road Warriors

    The silver lining to this team to me is they seem way more focused on the road and neutral sites.

    Cameron seems to be their house of horrors.

    It doesn’t make much sense to me but life doesn’t make sense, maybe Duke just away from home where they feel tested right away and they get complacent.

    This mostly Freshman team seems to be more focused on the road or a neutral site when the crowd is ramped up against them and they feel they have something to prove.

    Reminds me of the 2011-2012 Rivers team. That team didn't lose once on the road in ACC play.

    The pressure to not lose in Cameron during K’s final season at the helm must be staggering.

    Thank God we only have two remaining home games!

    Joking of course, but the "important" games are all ahead and all on neutral sites.

    Wow, two more games with K in Cameron.

    Could Duke offer a season ticket bundle to AWAY games next year? Home games are too stressful.

    Sorry. That's DIY 99% of the time. It's very rare when the Iron Dukes can sell away game tickets. I haven't been able to travel the past 2 months, but I bought everything but UNC, UVA, and Syracuse as single game tickets from the school. That is typical with VT being the other school that's often a Stubhub buy.

    UVA does go on sale tomorrow in theory. Don't expect any available tickets.

    Sorry, I was making an attempt at a joke. Should have added an emoji.

    Joking or not, there's no denying the importance of the March 5th home game. GTHC!

    I had been thinking the same thing but didn't want to bring it up for, umm, reasons... let's hope this team is a bit different than that one down the stretch!

    I'm still unsure whether we play better away from Cameron, or whether we play better in BIG GAMES. Because we haven't really had any big games at home. The regular season finale may tell us a lot.

    Yeah, I agree. I think this team "just" has a complacency problem. And that complacency problem is more likely (though not exclusively likely - see @FSU) to occur at home based on who we've faced at home and where we've had our games after a loss.
